Meilkan

Meilkan is 39 years old, married, and has raised four children. Looking for a source of additional income for her family, Meilkan launched her own business of raising livestock and selling milk with a starting capital of 10,000 som (KGS). Thanks to her hard work and persistence, she was able to expand her business, so that it currently includes 4 cows and 35 sheep and earns roughly 8,000 som (KGS) per month from sales of dairy products and resale of livestock.

In order to continue developing her business, Meilkan has turned to Bai Tushum & Partners for a loan of 120,000 som (KGS) to purchase 2 cows, with the aim of increasing her income from milk sales. In the near future, she plans to invest her profits into further expansion of her herd.
